Topic: How much cash should I bring? (Read 3979 times)

I have my ticket to an upcoming show, Oct 13, and I'm just wondering what kind of KD merch there will be and how much money I need to bring! I'm so excited and I'm not leaving empty handed! This will be my first KD show!

I agree bring what you can and lets hope there will be several shirts to choose from. I know I'm going to bring at least $50.00 with me . It has been awhile since I have been to a show and I'm sure prices have gone up since then used to be about $18 to $25.00 a shirt unless it was a jersey or special kind like a tie dye . Now that would be cool lol.

You know I always wondered why Hank and Timi wore those huge ass crosses onstage. Was it to protect themselves from all the evil that King was bringing to the Mercyful Fate concerts?

Just now I was watching the video of MF in Italy in 1983...I never noticed/remembered this before....someone in the audience is holding up a Christian cross, King politely takes it and holds it upside down during the song.

I know that some bands sell their shirts for more at the concerts because fuck you, you're amped and more inclined to buy, even if it's at a higher price you will rationalize paying $5-$10 more.

It's kind of slimy but good business psychology.

I say it depends on what you want to get. Personally I just get a t-shirt so I'd bring enough to cover drinks + $30 for a shirt to concerts. If you want to get a whole bag of swag like vinyls, cds, shirts, posters, etc, I'd bring more accordingly.

The venue usually takes a cut of merchandise sales at concerts, too. They bands have to charge more to make their money back!!!
